Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:1-6
We are Courageous
Therefore – 2 Cor 3:18
Don’t lose heart
Be Courageous!
Ps 73:26; 2 Tim 1:6-7
We Renounce & Refuse
Renounce – give up a right
Underhanded – dishonestly
2 Tim 4:3-4
Commend – recognize character
If Gospel is veiled – only to unbelievers
The god of this world blinds people
Paul’s Gospel message is clear – Holy Spirit shines light & opens blind eyes.
We Proclaim the Light
Good news (Gospel) – the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, shines light in the darkness.
Trinity – One God but three distinct persons
John 3:16; 1 John 4:14; Gal 4:6; 2 Cor 3:17; Col 1:15; Heb 1:3
John 12:26 – I am the Light of the world
Gen 1:3 – “Let there be light”
Have you seen the Light?
Take Aways
Have you grown weary or afraid and lost heart?
Have your eyes been opened to the good news?
A – Admit you are a sinner and cannot save yourself
B – Believe that Jesus, the Son of God, died paying for your sins and rose again
C – Confess Jesus as Lord and Savior & Choose to follow Him
